FYI: Did you know that a buttered popcorn-flavored Jelly Belly, fits perfectly into the nose cavity

of a three-year-old? It does, perfectly. It just isn't quite as easy to get out, as it it to get in. He's fine. I am however a little worse for wear. What is it with little boys sticking things in their noses and ears? This is the second time, different child. Last time it was a little burr, which because of the barbs at the end, not only needed a visit to urgent care, but a follow-up appointment the next morning, with said child being wrapped up in a strait jacket type of thing, being held down on a table by two nurses and a doctor using some kind of little instrument to extricate the little ba$tard burr (thanks Marilyn for that tip), all the while with my son screaming for me. This time it was a simpler procedure; blow your nose really hard! No barbs on a Jelly Belly, thank goodness. Accckkk! Tonight I think I will be getting my vegetable serving in a chilled glass with a toothpick, mushroom and onion, shaken not stirred!

 
They don't always have to be "little" boys..

My brother was 15 when he decided to put a pussy willow up his nose. There was no dare too small for him! Well... he got more than he bargained for when it would not come out and was too far up the nasal cavity to be extracted. It took several months till one day with a giant sneeze this disgusting fuzzy booger ( did I spell that right?) came flying out of his nose. Of course he needed to show us the tissue with this treasure in it. Gross does not even begin to touch on what this thing looked like. Of course it has been a great source of amusment in our family for all these years ( he is now 52) and when he picked on DJ for eating a bug on a dare from Cici just before he deployed the 1st time, my sister, my mom and I were all very quick to remind him of the fuzzy booger that resided in his shnoz for months!

 
I don't know, but they have Harry Potter ones that are disgusting.

Flavors like vomit, grass, dirt, bacon, and a few other ones that I have managed to block from my memory, but marg, you have given a new one to try and block.

 
My little brother favored dried beans. When my mom told him he was no longer allowed to

go into the pantry I'd sneak them for him.


What are big sisters for? smileys/wink.gif

 
ha-hmmmm, wait until you have to do potty patrol because your little brother swallowed....

...the metal ball for Mousetrap.

It never felt the same playing with a toy that had traveled every inch of Paul's digestive track.

PS: For inquiring minds: it took 48 hours.

PPS: It was no longer bright and shiny.

Oh I know, my youngest sister swallowed and antique hat pin, luckily

pearl side down, and everything came out alright in the end. (woo hoo, I beat someone to that cliche.)

 
Is the ball unsullied? every Christmas I swear I'm going to find one

on ebay and send it to Paul. Along with a potty chair so HE can have the joy of doing potty patrol for whichever one of his 3 boys swallows the key game piece!)

 
I stuck a piece of dry spaghetti found on the kitchen floor into my brother's ear when I was 5 smileys/frown.gif

 
i threw a few pieces of metal chips from draino (back when they were sodium, not aluminum)...

into the tub that my brother was in.

sodium
1. floats
2. ignites on contact with water.

got into a heap of trouble with that one.

 
no permanent damage, his ear was a little bloody but I think my punishment was worse smileys/frown.gif

 
I'm 45 and started a 'who can shoot the chocolate covered cherry out of their nose the farthest'

contest at our last family Hanukka party. The nieces/nephews loved it...I thought DH was going to disown me:)
